It’s the start of a new romance. United at Real Madrid since this summer, Kylian Mbappé and Vinícius Júnior have everything they need to reign over European football in the years to come. To do this, however, the two men, with strong characters, had to get along off the pitch. Ultimately, everything is going well in this regard. And while things are also going better and better on the pitch, their cohabitation seems to be able to lead Real to the top. Already accomplices before the break against Betis, where Vini had given a penalty to the Frenchman, their complicity was still at its best this Saturday. On the Real Sociedad pitch, the two teammates scored from a penalty.
A symbiosis that translates into no penalty gates so far and four penalties scored in four attempts. Questioned at the end of the match on this subject but more generally around the relationship he has with the Brazilian, the Frenchman praised his understanding with the number 7 of Real: “Vinícius is a great player, he does a lot for Real Madrid and I am very happy to play with him. The important thing is not who takes the penalties, the important thing is that all four were scored.“The message got through.
